Well looks like the anime is moving back into the game's story sort of. Laharl finally takes the throne but Earth begins an invasion of the netherworld. Curtis shows up along with Jennifer's father/leader of the Earth's forces with a little help from Vulcanus. It was a nice episode and let's see where it goes from here.

They probably are-they're just stalling. Speaking as one who recently has taken on a series all by herself, fansubbing can be quite the time-consumer and you sometimes just wanna do something else. O_o;

Earth invasion continues. While Laharl and Gordon fight those beam weapons outside, Fionne and Etna, along with prinnie tie fight earth troops and Thursday from the inside. We see some history flashbacks on Curtis, showing how he lost his family and became cyborg. Jennifer rebels against her father, and he uses a mind-control machine on her. Laharl joins the inside team, some assasin-angels arrive as reinforcements from Tenkai, but Fionne deflects their arrows, killing one of her own kind. In the end Makai wins and Jenny's father runs away. Laharl and Co decides to go to Tenkai to find out who was the mastermind.

Thanks to someone over at AnimeCentral, apparently Makai Senki Disgaea is licensed, but not exactly sure as of to who. Apparently one of the Representatives of Broccoli stated that during the license announcement of the manga, they stated that the anime is licensed. But as to who, they aren't sure. (Apparently they didn't state as to who)

I'm putting my money on Geneon. While I know Geneon Entertainment (Japan) and (US) are two different companies, and it doesn't mean Geneon US will automatically get it, it just seems like a show Geneon would grab. *Shrugs*

The Wiire: You have an anime based on Disagea, airing in Japan right now. Are there any efforts to bring that over here to the States?

Niida: Yes, we are actually working very closely with... an anime production company and we are going to bring it over here to the states hopefully by October and maybe into November, and it will be here in the States as a DVD format to begin with, but we are also looking into broadcast. Hopefully Anime Network, Adult Swim, or Cartoon Network... so it's going to be very exciting later this year.

Apparently Geneon has the anime.

Heres why:

Considering PCB Productions (Who also did the English dub of the game.) has already listed the series on their credits page as "In Development" with Geneon credited, I think that is a safe bet.

C.T.

And at their page:

Quote:

PCB's anime broadcast series include: .Hack/Sign, .Hack /Legend of the Twilight Bracelet, Gene Shaft, Spriggan, Neon Genesis Evangelion, Disgaea, MAR, Bumper King, Ape Escape(Unknown what this is exactly. The Page that lists the info says Spumco's involved, as is Sony of Japan. So I'm at a loss here.), and Burn Up Excess.

Are you sure Geneon US picked up Makai Senki Disgaea? I know the company picked up Fate/Stay Night because they produced the series.

1) Fate/Stay Night was a co-production between Geneon USA and Geneon JP among others. Disgaea was a production of Geneon JP and Nippon Ichi Software (NIS).

2) PCB does work with Geneon USA. There is no reason Geneon JP would come to them for voice work. Also, NIA is Nippon Ichi of America, the American arm of NIS. If PCB says they are working on it for Geneon, then they are working on a dub for Geneon USA. Therefore they must be the licensors.

Says the DVD will be released here in the US around December this year. Can't wait to play Disgaea 2. I hope they'll bring back the original VAs from the game (minus Bob Papenbrook). Haven't heard anything from Amanda Winn Lee who voices Etna in the game. Probably will be replaced by someone with a similar voice.

Can't download Disgaea anymore due to being licensed by Geneon. Even the fansub groups won't touch the series anymore.

As it should be.

The DVDs will be cheap enough. We all got a sample of the show up to now and picking up the R1 DVDs should be a no brainer (or catching it on CN) for those that like the show (I thought the animation was dreadful). I usually wait a year or so and pick up the "bricks" or all-in-one packs once the show has been released on separate discs. If I can't wait, I just buy them Used. DigitalEyes.net (DVDPlanet) has a decent used section. Cheap and good.
